Explore the standout luxury watches from Watches and Wonders 2025 in Geneva, featuring major debuts from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Hublot and more
Watches and Wonders 2025 has once again turned Geneva into the global capital of horology. Spanning more than 800,000 square feet at the Palexpo convention center, the world’s largest luxury watch fair brings together the biggest names in watchmaking from Rolex to Patek Philippe for a week of bold launches and anniversary celebrations.

From ultra-complicated timepieces to solar-powered classics, this year’s launches are designed to impress both seasoned collectors and curious newcomers.
